Ship Idea: Advanced Recon Drone/Ship

[sempai17]

This idea has been bothering me for a while now and I wanted to see what people thought of it. I tend to have these ideas from time to time, but I can never get rid of them unless I get some feedback.

So basically it's a relatively small ship, about the size of a starflier except more streamlined (more flat and pointy I guess) extremely high maneuverability. Thrusters that reach up to 250 (or at least 10 faster than the fastest Light fighter) Has no guns on it and only equipped with a Countermeasure Dropper hardpoint.

Here's what sets it apart:
It has 2 Shield Mounts. One of the mounts are Class 5-8 Light Fighter Shields. The other one is a Class 1 (or 2) Freighter Shield that is similar to the Cargo Pods for the Train and Transport ships. The difference here is that this secondary shield would go over the existing ship acting as a camouflage. there would be different colored camouflage shields you could buy, depending on the situation. If you were in a cloud in the Rhienland, you would buy an orange tinted camouflage. If you were empty space, you may want an all black camo. If you're sitting in an asteroid field, you'd get camouflage that makes you look like a hunk of rock. Hanging around Sigma 13? A teal/bluish colored ship would be helpful.

The more Sophisticated the Camouflage is, the more expensive. Probably the most expensive Camouflage would be the decoys, which are made to look like house fighters, transports, even battleships (though these prices should never exceed 10 mil, unless you can see a reason why it should).

The purpose of this ship is to conduct deep reconnaissance into enemy territory, an advanced warning platform, and a checkpoint platform for trade and traffic monitoring. It is either unmanned, or piloted depending on the situation and equipment.

So ladies and gents, what are your thoughts? Your suggestions? Ideas? Flames? Help me refine this thought.

P.S. If this is in the wrong section, please move it. I'm always confused on where to post this type of thing (Mod Discussion or here?)
